!Gameboy
by Purple Monchichi
"This is the fourth edition of the famous Gameboy-Emulator for the Acorn
Archimedes/RiscPC!!"
Not much can be assumed about !Gameboy from us without RiscOS compatible
machines, however, the following were added in the latest version of !Gameboy:
- Old version did not load 512k-modules with smartcard-header (512k+512)
- "Prehistorik Man"-bugfix
- Better fps-calculation (now really counting fps)
- StrongARM-compatible
- Better fullscreen-mode (see also "screenmode-detection" below)
- Better frontend
- Snapshots (filetype &0D8, "GBsnap")
While a large amount of information can be assumed from that list, there
is also an improved version available that can be explained by the following:
"This is a rewritten front end for Purple Monchichi's RISC OS Gameboy
emulator, which runs in a window under the desktop. Other useful additions
include the ability to cheat using Game Genie codes, much enhanced saving and
loading facilities, and an easy way to reconfigure the keys and colours. I've
tested it on a StrongARM RISC PC and an old ARM3 A3000. The RISC PC copes
fine with scaling up to 300% (you have to press escape at this magnification
to regain control of the machine though), whereas the A3000 struggles
somewhat at any size. In theory it could run at a similar speed to the old
non-multitasking version due to more efficient key handling code, but I've
not been able to test it on any 'in-between' machines."
